| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2005 jeep grand cherokee and all but one of the door handles on the inside panel have fallen out and it is just a matter of time before the other one does because it is already cracking. This is a real safety issue as if anything happens the doors cannot be opened from the inside. I have read that this is real common because of the material used to make these doors and has happened to a whole lot of people. The dealerships want like $700 a door to replace. |
